Bug 143095 – [jhbuild] git should use only 1 thread for cloning jhbuild

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

Unfortunately qemu can't handle thread properly, that's why we must
disable parallel threads on our ARM bots to make them be able to
clone jhbuild with git.

error log:

jhbuild repository is so small, cloning it is fast, so there is no reason to add sophisticated mechanism to determine if we can use parallel threads or not.

I think it would be good if we add a comment in order to easy to track the reason why we need to use 1 thread for cloning jhbuild.
